Starting off the second half of the year in an entrepreneurial mode 🚀

[Michael Taiwo @AskMichaelTaiwo]

Here is a truth nobody tells you early enough.

The real reason to chase more money is not the cars or the clothes.

It is time.

Money, spent wisely, buys back your hours.

That washing machine gives you back a Saturday morning.

The dishwasher hands you an extra hour with your kids.

A good fridge lets you cook once on Saturday and eat well all week, instead of standing over a pot every single night.

Hiring help for the tasks that drain you is not laziness. It is buying back your one life, piece by piece.

So do not just work to afford things.

Work to afford time.

Time to sleep. Time to rest. Time to be happy. That was always the point.

This HMO thing going on is more complex than it looks. So let me do my part. How it actually works, and what needs to be done better.

I had brain surgery in 2022

I did not have health insurance at that time.
I paid ₦12 million naira in cash from my own pocket

Dear Anonymous,

I spent my entire university life at ABU Zaria hitting back to back first class GPA for 6 semesters in Political Science. My very first GPA was 4.79/5.00 which was the overall best in the whole faculty of social science consisting of over 600 students. I maintained it for almost my entire university life.
Unfortunately, In the first semester of my final year, my CGPA dropped to 4.47 exactly like you, with just one semester to go (see my pinnned tweet). I needed a 5.00 GPA in the final semester including research project to achieve my dream of graduating with a first class and breaking the record in a program that no one believed first class was possible. I was stuck between giving up to avoid last minute heartbreak or try to break a longstanding record as first class in political science was impossible for over 40years and hitting 5.00 CGPA in final semester was something students used to say only God could achieve. The two final year courses were enough hell, but I also needed ‘A’ in research project which further complicated things. Hundreds have tried, Hundreds have failed. People used to mock me in the library saying “haba scholar, in the end it’s just second class upper” just like those who tried before me.

However, I remained focused and locked in with hardwork and prayers. I had to travel twice to my village, stayed for weeks without electricity just to get data for my final year project. I stayed back in school during first semester holiday while everyone else went home to their families. During the dark days of no light on campus, I used ABU streetlights to study outside. Sometimes, I entered the bush behind the hostel to sit around trees to study during exams when libraries got overcrowded (until snake killed one old woman). Those who were close to me said I was going crazy and nicknamed me “books”.

Today, I am proud to tell you that I have a record breaking first class degree from ABU which has changed my life forever. I featured in several newspapers & blogs for achieving the impossible, bagged a fully funded EU scholarship which resulted in me bagging two more first class degrees from the UK & Netherlands and currently working as the only black Analyst in my team at a silicon valley tech giant with a less than 1% global job acceptance rate.

All these dreams were possible because I didn’t give up
I didn’t listen to people
I worked hard and prayed and the almighty lifted me in his blessings.
I hope my story motivates you and others like you who are considering giving up.
And if you see this, please send me a DM I would like to know & support you personally.

On this day, 4 years ago... Allah ya tsare mutuncin ka Malam, Amin🙏🏼

[• @Al__Quraan]

“And He has granted you all that you asked Him for. If you tried to count Allah’s blessings, you would never be able to number them. Indeed humankind is truly unfair, ˹totally˺ ungrateful.”

— Al Qur’aan (14:34)

[Aminu Dalhat @AminuDalhat]

As a northerner, I’ll be blunt here.

There are not very many excellent jobs in Nigeria, especially, in the North. And the few ones that are in the public sector? They usually go to the "highly connected” people.

And if you are able to get a place in the few ones that are left, you’ll only be paid a "survival wage." It keeps you afloat, but it won’t build you a future. In fact, with bills and family, it can make you poorer.

If your goal is to move into the middle class, which is the most realistic goal for most of us from humble backgrounds, then your strategy cannot be:

1. Waiting only for public sector jobs.
2. Limiting yourself to just your city or state.

The harsh truth is that unemployment is higher in many northern cities than it is in the south. That means your chances of landing a good job here are slimmer.

As young people, we must be pragmatic in coming up with solutions. I think these 4 practical moves can help:

1. Look to the private sector - While you’re still hoping for government, go hard for private companies. They pay better. They train you faster. They expose you to bigger opportunities.

2. Be mobile - Don’t be fixated on staying in your state or town. Be open to Lagos, Abuja, PH, Kano, anywhere with opportunity. Build yourself there first. When you’ve made it, you can always come back home and give back.

3. Polish your skills - A degree alone won’t pay bills. What problem can you solve? Learn a skill. Tech, sales, logistics, content, trades. Make yourself valuable.

4. Start something small - Having a degree doesn’t mean you must have a 9-5. The goal is to have a source of livelihood. It can be a business, a side hustle, catering, farming, e-business. Start small. Grow it.

Just be out and work hard.

I hope we succeed.

TALKING ABOUT BEGGING

This was the real BEGGING, the real begger, and when and how it happened.

Coincidentally and unbeknownst to many of us then, it was also the foundation for a grand betrayal orchestrated by two men - one on the podium and the other seated on the front row.

They were both shining their teeth at Mallam Nasir El-Rufai who in his white heart could not have imagined the magnitude of the conspiracy, treachery and betrayal that laid in wait for him.

We remember, we will always remember, and there shall be a payback time.

[charles aniagolu @charlesaniagolu]

I've interviewed presidents, governors, generals, activists and politicians. But sometimes it's the interviews with the families left carrying the emotional burden that stay with you.

A few days ago, I interviewed the lawyer Asiya El-Rufai, wife of former Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai. She spoke with the precision of a legal expert and the pain of a spouse.

She didn't ask me to defend her husband. She didn't ask Nigerians to take sides. She spoke instead - quietly but powerfully - about constitutional rights, due process, access to lawyers and doctors, and the emotional toll prolonged detention takes on a family.

It reminded me that behind every politically charged courtroom battle is a human story.

Whatever anyone thinks of Nasir El-Rufai politically, one truth remains: the rule of law only has meaning when it protects people whose politics we may disagree with. That is why due process is not a favour. It is the foundation of democracy.

Power is temporary. The legal precedents we tolerate today may become the standards - and the nightmare - we all live under tomorrow.

[Muhammadu Aminu @MuhammadKabara_]

@Dandaje Congratulations!

[Assab Aichatou Djibril @AAD_EL_Rufai]

Shame on you, you are a bad example for justice in Nigeria if you can keep @elrufai for 134Days in Detention on a Bailable offence. Where's the Justice? As a SAN you should hide yourself @UN_HRC @amnestyusa @amnesty @Mediapart @ecowas_cedeao @FranceONUGeneve @EUCouncil @realDonaldTrump

[Aminu Dalhat @AminuDalhat]

If you are a young professional from a humble background and you are earning fairly reasonably, buy assets.

E.g. you work in Abuja and have N5m - N10m in savings, go to places like Kuje, Bwari or Gwagwalada and buy GENUINE land. You may even build it.

Don’t make the mistakes of saying I’ll buy a house in life camp or Idu when I become an Oga. If you can avoid rent, do it.

Build your financial freedom gradually.
